Western astrology recognizes conjunction, trine, sextile, square, opposition and quincunx as main aspects and assigns levels of strength to them. Conjunctions are relatively strongest while sextiles are weakest irrespective of the planet involved in forming the aspect.
However, in Vedic astrology only certain aspects are taken in to consideration for certain planets (besides conjunctions and oppositions that work for all planets). They are called \'special aspects\'.
Special aspects are cast by planets as follows. Note that signs must be counted anti-clockwise. For example when counting from Cancer, a forward square is in Libra while a backward square is in Aries.
Saturn:
Forward sextile (3rd sign from its sign)
Backward square (10th sign form its sign)
Jupiter:
Both trines (5th and 9th from its sign)
Mars:
Forward square (4th sign from its sign)
Backward quincunx (8th sign from its sign)
Sun, moon, Venus and Mercury only cast conjunctions and oppositions.Nodes do not cast aspects as they are not planets but only mathematical points. However, node points in the natal chart can receive aspects from transiting planets.
Then if this idea is applied to western astrology, it means that a forward sextile from transting saturn to a natal planet/point is stronger than say a forward sextile from transiting Jupiter to same.
